Baby Bounce

“For thus says the Lord:

‘Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river,
And the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream.
Then you shall feed;
On her sides shall you be carried,
And be dandled on her knees.
As one whom his mother comforts,
So I will comfort you;
And you shall be comforted in Jerusalem (Isaiah 66:12-13 NKJV).”

Infants love to be bounced on the lap or knee of a loving caregiver. My favorite… I cross my legs at the knees, place the child atop my right foot. Holding them upright by their hands, I begin bouncing my leg. 

Children love the rides!

My Grandpa Ford sang a catchy tune as he bounced me.

“To market, to market to buy a fat pig;
Home again, home again, jiggety-jig.
To market, to market, to buy a fat hog;
Home again, home again, jiggety-jog.”

('To Market-to Market'/Originally in compact form in the ‘Songs for the Nursery’ collection/1805)

I’ve frequently found myself saying ‘Home again, home again jiggety-jig’ after running errands and returning home. Little did Grandpa know what a lasting impact he had on little Pammy Sue.
